This allows any user to quickly start Jupyter Labs from the desktop. All Jupyter Lab Notebooks are automatically created (and thus backuped as well) on the Z:-drive.

• Create a folder on the Z:\Jupyter Labs

  • This is at the cost of a bit of performance for the Z-drive is not as fast ast the C-drive. Alternatively create a folder on the C:-drive and change after putting the shortcut on the desktop in the properties of the shortcut the target and start-in

• Download python.zip and upload it to the Workspace

• Extract the zip

  • Put the shortcut in: c:\users\public\desktop (just type desktop behind public)
